Nick Viallis denying rumors that he and fellowBachelorNation alum Demi Burnett are dating.
“I’m pissed, I feel violated, it’s not cool,” Viall said this week on hisViall Filespodcast, explaining that someone from his apartment complex posted on Reddit that they saw him and Burnett coming and going from his apartment recently.
“I live with someone who is spying on me and going on Reddit,” Viall said. “Apparently, everyone thinks I am dating Demi [Burnett].”
Viall, 39, said that while they are close friends, his relationship with Burnett is nothing more than platonic.
“Demi is a close friend. She’s a dear friend. We’ve become very close, I care very much about her,” he said, adding that they are “as close as platonic friends can be.”
“Demi has, in fact, been to my place, as friends sometimes do go to each other’s places,” he said.
“Only recently Demi has come to my place for the first time, so there was no tea to spill [before that],” Viall added. “And I don’t haveBachelorfriends come over very often. I don’t hang out with — I feel violated.”
Burnett and Viall make regular appearances on each other’s social media, and recently attended a Halloween party together where Burnett wore a Hooters outfit and Vialldressed upas new BachelorPeter Weber. Burnett has alsobeen a gueston theViall Files.
